Book description
Prepare Your Child for School answers the questions every
parent asks when their child is about to leave their exclusive care
and go out into the world of school:
- Is my child ready for this challenge?
- Will the teacher bring out the best in my child?
- What can I do to help my child cope with the stresses, demands and
expectations of school life?
- Will other children play with my child?
- Does my child know enough?
- Can my child communicate well?
- Is my child ready to learn to read and write?
Aimed both at parents of pre-school children (3 to 6 years old) and
at teachers and carers, this practical book, including numerous
charts, checklists, questionnaires and structured activities for
developing children's skills as well as promoting their emotional
well-being, will act as a blueprint for action.
Dr Valerie Muter is a clinical and research psychologist with a
special interest in children's early cognitive development,
particularly in relation to language and literacy.
Dr Helen Likierman is a school counsellor and a clinical
psychologist in private practice. She is a parent of two teenage
children and so has hands-on experience as a parent.
